If what you're saying is right Ashran, then I'm very excited to check out the retainers. I got one character through the story enough in this beta that I could hire one, and went to do so. I stopped when it asked me to NAME the retainer. I happily walked away thinking how I could add this new retainer to my character's rp background in some way (which meant I needed a good name) and so I didn't hire them. The other thing that made me think was seeing a picture of several retainers of different races and when given the option to name one I didn't know which race I was going to be getting. If we can choose race or even customize them at a later date that would be fantastic.
